Baptism

“Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
~ Matthew 28:19 ~

A baptized person belongs forever to Christ.

Baptism takes away original sin, all personal sins, and all punishment due to sin. It makes the baptized person a participant in the divine life of the Trinity through sanctifying grace, the grace of justification, which incorporates one into Christ and into his Church. It gives one a share in the priesthood of Christ and provides the basis for communion with all Christians. It bestows the theological virtues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. A baptized person belongs forever to Christ. He is marked with the indelible seal of Christ.


Baptism is more than a cultural tradition or “choosing” a religion for your child. Baptism gives actual grace and claims them as belonging to Christ Jesus forever. Learn what it means to become a child of God.

For those planning a Baptism out-of-state, or with special circumstances, please contact Megan Mellon at the parish office: (321) 355-3411 or ILopez@stacatholic.org
